'''Prayer of Holding''' is one of the first spells taught to burgeoning [[cleric]]s, allowing them to interfere with the power controlling [[undead]] monsters. [[Creature]]s thus held are rendered immobile, unable to attack and given a substantial penalty when attempting to defend. The duration of this spell is based upon the spell endroll but not in a simple manner. The minimum duration is 8 seconds (which you are more likely to get on a 101 endroll but still may get on a 200 endroll).

This spell is in many ways similar to the [[Major Spiritual]] spell [[Bind (214)|Bind]], but has a lower cost and works only on the [[undead]].

The [[mana]] cost for this spell is calculated by a seed 1 [[summation]] of the target's level. That is, a level 1 target costs 1 mana whereas a level 105 target costs 14 mana. When imbedded by the [[Magic Item Creation (420)]] or [[325|Holy Receptacle]] spells or charged by the [[Charge Item (517)]] spell, Prayer of Holding counts as a level 8 spell. It should be noted that while the cost scales up when [[CAST]], there is no change in cost when invoked from a holy receptacle. Thus, many higher-level clerics hunting undead will prepare one or two gems containing this spell to conserve mana.

Prayer of Holding is a warding spell that allows clerics to interfere with the power controlling undead creatures. Targets are rendered immobile, unable to attack and given a substantial defense penalty. Every seven seconds (the minimum duration of the spell), the creature has a random chance to break out of the binding and end the spell. Cleric spell ranks and the warding margin reduce this chance. As time goes on, the spell weakens and the chance for the creature to break the spell increases.
